if anything happens, is it easier to find forte's spare parts nowadays? is that true the price of them are high?

what do you mean by underpower? the acceleration is worst than a vios/city or civic/lancer? thanks.


what's with "multiple transmission wiring error"? gearbox problem? what's the age of your car? thanks.

Forte ---- Vios
124ps --- 109ps
156nm -- 141nm
that extra 300kg really makes different?

after following this thread for a while, is it true that these are the common issues with forte (even if it's a brand new)
1. rattling sound coming from dashboard if driving > 100km/j
2. weird sound from front door (either right or left)
3. knocking sound if driving slowly while air-cond is in used
4. standard tyre can't be 'harap'ed too much (noisy and bad grip)
5. front head light will get condensation after rain or wash etc

other than that are
1. some SC are lousy
2. spare parts are not cheap
3. fuel consumption is high but still acceptable
4. underpowered for 1.6?

no offence as i also booked a forte too... it is the best for its price, just not sure whether to proceed or not

how to identify leather seat? genuine or PVC only?

21/12/2012 Booking for RM500.00
31/12/2012 Bank called - loan approved

any tips before i proceed/ not to proceed signing?

thanks for the advise. agreed that some kits are awfully poor because i have seen it before that some local bodykits do not have 'the right size/ dimensions' to forte body. the 'joints' seems awkward

is it possible/ legal modding to have sun roof

good tips! great 'features'

just got my 2013's 1.6SX Titanium Silver on 12012013 from 070. already clocked around 465km so far. always maintaining < 3000rpm. currently got 7.7l/100km. the fastest speed i have drove only 125km/h at Lebuhraya Pantai Timur. very stable on highway. very confident in cornering at Karak Highway. really can feel the stock tyres 'menggigit jalan' the only draw back is the sound from stock tyres.

NO rattling dashboard sound. NO sound from either front doors. NO pulling left or right. so far so good

yeah noted about this it's only a 1.6NA with 1300kg + 17" rims

i have been surveying since 2010. no human's creation is perfect. different people comes with different needs and wants. overall no regret at all because i know its pros and cons... loving it yes. proud it no because i am not really proud of anything i have
thanks

1. how to check our forte is 6 speeds or 4 speeds? just tought to check this morning but very jam i could only able to paddle shift into 4th gear @ 60km/h

2. 5 years warranty:

3. multi function multimedia head unit:
mine didn't have LED. what's the different with the new with LED?

1. looks like i have to wait for this coming weekend only to found out the answer... or is there any other way to check that we have 6 not 4 speeds?
2. ok 5 years from KIA (engine, transmission and drive trains)
3. huhu OK
in that 20km have you ever 'dive' into poholes/ bumps etc?
i have tried google but can't find the details old vs new HU like other than improved CPU etc
